 What is a Kraken?  Even the name sounds scary.  For centuries people did not believe Krakens existed, but seeing is believing, and sailors' tales of seeing these gigantic creatures resulted in lots of stories and myths, including Jules Verne's famous novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.  Is it possible that the giant squid, first photographed in 1981, could be the legendary Kraken?  Follow Dr. Steve O’Shea as he studies the body of this huge tentacle sea animal and decide for yourself.   (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Awards Program Booktalks 2012-2013)
SUBJECTS:     Kraken.
                        Giant squids.
